The Miami Hurricanes are wearing it today, with multiple players entering the transfer portal following last weekend’s spring game. Miami has lost numerous players to the portal, including backup quarterback Jacurri Brown. Shortly after Brown made his intentions known, freshman running back and former top recruit TreVonte’ Citizen also jumped into the portal, leaving Coral Gables after just two seasons.
Miami has also seen three other players enter the portal with the spring window officially open. Edge rusher Nyjalik Kelly highlights the group, accumulating 5.5 TFLs and four sacks across two seasons. Meanwhile, offensive lineman Logan Sagapolu is also out at Miami.

He again sat out the 2023 campaign and will leave Miami without showcasing his elite talent in the regular season.

Citizen shined at Lake Charles Prep High School in Louisiana, earning All-American Bowl honors in 2022. According to Rivals, he is the second-rated running back in the class of 2022. He rushed for 743 yards and 11 touchdowns during his final season at Lake Charles Prep and 615 yards and eight touchdowns in 2020.
